Help! I’m trapped in this blog

I got an email the other day from a guy who said, “You never tell anyone what you’re up to anymore.” Good point, guy.

So here I am, blowing up your RSS. Mostly to ask for money, but that’s not all. Here’s where to find me these days:

First up, I have a novel coming out (my first), and I’m funding it on Kickstarter. It’s called Our Secret Better Lives, and it’s about Katy, a first-year at a small college in L.A. in 1994 who might actually have a shot at becoming a rock star. If you enjoy my food writing, I think you’re going to love this. It’s funny and sweet and full of snappy dialogue. I’d love your help publishing it. Read the first chapter now and pledge here. Thank you!

I’ve just started writing for Supper Club, a division of The A.V. Club, a division of The Onion. My first piece, about Seattle teriyaki, will be out next week.
